The consequences of the unusually narrow and homogeneous backgrounds of the recent SCOTUS’s.

The Warren Court had a former California governor, a former cabinet secretary, a former undersecretary, a former Senator and an army Colonel with WW II combat experience.

@StephenM Stephen Miller is the clearest example yet of textbook racism.

Bernie Sanders is the lead Democratic Socialist, so looking forward to your textbook anti-Semitic comments.

And how insecure is this guy to make his banner photo be of Chinese Premiere Xi smiling at him?

History made at Autodromo di Modena! 🏎️

For the first time ever, an autonomous racecar beat a human lap record. The IAC AV-24, powered by Unimore Racing’s AI, set a new record of 58.3 seconds, beating the Lamborghini Huracán STO’s 2022 record.

This is a huge step forward for racing, safety, and autonomous mobility!

I think “invasion” is typically reserved for something on the scale, intent and potential for harm like Russia invading Ukraine. I think Zelenskyy was trying to explain this before you interrupted him.

To further the example, if the President ordered an invasion of Greenland, and you and some hillbilly buddies went there, waved a US flag and burned a sled, I don’t think President Trump would agree that you had launched his intended invasion.

Or was this same President not in charge of the National Guard during this prior “incident?”
